Do you offer specific WordPress themes or software?

Reclaim Hosting runs an industry-standard control panel called cPanel which allows you to install and use a variety of web applications (including WordPress). You are not limited to a certain set of software, plugins, and themes, rather you have full control to install what you wish on your domain.

What other applications do you offer?

You can find the full list of applications that Reclaim Hosting offer’s here.

What if I already have a site?

During the signup process, you can choose to transfer your domain to Reclaim Hosting and migrate your data. We’ll even help you do it! Just put in a migration request after signup to get started.

What payment methods do you support?

We accept all major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB and Diner’s Club. We also accept PayPal.

How do you protect my privacy?

As of January 1, 2017, ID Protect will be automatically included for all new domains. Other than that the user controls how much of their information they want to make public via their website. You can read more about our privacy policy here.

What about FERPA?

The student is controlling how much information is out there. Similar to a public blogging platform being run by a university, FERPA only requires that student records (and what constitutes a “record” is debatable) not be public unless a student gives permission. In this case if the student wanted to sign up and lock down their hosting they can certainly do that, no one is requiring them to make their information public. This also comes back to our strict privacy policy (see previous question)

Can we integrate this with our campus Single Sign-On system?

Absolutely! We offer institutional packages that support Single Sign-On via Shibboleth, CAS, and Active Directory/LDAP. We also offer custom development for alternative authentication platforms.

Do I have to be a student to use this?

Reclaim Hosting always has and always will be education-focused, and we’ve priced plans in a way to make it affordable for students and faculty. While we will never specifically prohibit external entities from using our service, please understand that support for businesses and non-edu purposes will be limited. To that end we also provide hosting services at rockawayhosting.com for anyone so please check us out there if you’re not affiliated with a school!
